Seedlings like a warmer more humid atmosphere. 80F, 50-60%RH. I use a humidity dome and rockwool cubes for the first 2 weeks. A heating mat under the dome speeds up root growth. After that, they are ready for a solo cup, or whatever medium you plan on using.

That's a pretty small space. Unless you are in a really dry area, I think you should be Ok. Maybe think about misting them every once in awhile until they climbatize. Also, ditch the foil. That stuff creates hot spots, and is a fire hazard.

What does climbatize mean? And yeah i know foil isnt at all ideal but its all i got for now while im waiting for my tent to arrive and as far as hot spots i think opening it up a few times a day should take care of that?

Climbatize. Just means acclimate to their environment. Get used to their surroundings. I don't like foil because it's electrically conductive and known to start fires.

You would be better off using mylar: http://tinyurl.com/ncee9zs

Yeah i was gonna go by mylar but then decided just ro make the tin foil work until i order my tent which will then be here by about the 9th-15th but im probably gonna have to make somthing bigger soon anyway for them cuz theyll probably outgrow that box before my tent gets here dont u think?

Oh yeah, for sure. But, you should be fine. Everything is looking good. Looks like you are giving them the attention they need. Best of luck.

Strips work well in a pinch, but I would consider picking up a cheapy ph pen.

Not a big deal at all. Just very handy to have around. Amazon has some decent cheapos for around 10 bucks.

No i dont mean a big deal that i dont have a pen but that ive possibly been watering my seedling with water at the improper ph lvl for 2 days becuz i havent been able to test it, i mean it cant be that bad becuz theyre looking healthy and i used the same water for germinating and the whole process dont u think? Is it too late to fix it?

Lol, no. A few days of feeding without ph'ing is not going to have any adverse effects.

There's no such word as "climbatize." The correct word is "acclimatize."

Thank you for your studiousness. Studiousness is a word right?

I simply corrected your spelling. One can choose to learn or be ignorant. My pointing out an error is not an insult.
